For that to happen, though, Pakistan will need to win both their remaining matches, which will put them on top of the group with six points, leaving New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka with one win each. ...

In fact, South Africa's NRR is so marginally above Sri Lanka's that even a narrow defeat against Pakistan will be a huge setback - if, for example, Pakistan score 250 and South Africa lose by 30 runs, their NRR will still drop to -0.26.

For Sri Lanka to beat New Zealand's NRR, though, they'll need greater help from Pakistan. If Pakistan manage 250, they will have to restrict New Zealand to less than 189 for Sri Lanka to get through.

It's not the ideal situation for Mahela Jayawardene and his team, but it's hardly time yet to pack their bags and head home.

New Zealand: 274/7 (50.0 Ovs)
Fleming (80) and Styris (86) did the job for NZ with McCullum 27(13 balls) and Oram 31(26) helping to take the score past 250.Pakistan: 69/3 (14.0 Ovs)
Pakistan are still in the game.Yousuf and Afridi are at the crease.

Afridi gone 4(6),tried to pull but top edges.Dissapointing stuff from Afridi.Pakistan: 83/4 (16.3 Ovs)
Shoaib Malik comes in.If Malik and Yousuf can manage a big patnership,Pakistan can still manage it

Yup Younis Khan rebelled against himself. His three innings as a captain were 7(12), 2(12) and 7(24). Blazing form indeed. All 3 captain's knock. Gola baji kombey na tobuo. If only Razzak cooperated in the first game they would have performed worse than Zim.
